"Who did this?" Sebastian asked."Dexter Shantell," Charlotte answered weakly. Being drunk and almost having a panic attack was something she did not pray to experience again. She was holding on to Sebastian as she was unable to stand on her own.Hearing Dexter's name proved that Jonathan was right. Dexter was indeed on the island and he was out for revenge. He had failed to protect Charlotte once again and Dexter had won.Charlotte wrapped her hands around Sebastian's neck and pouted. "He beat me and then locked me in the toilet. I almost had a panic attack and I kept on calling your name. Why didn't you come on time?" She whimpered.Sebastian, whose hands were already wrapped around her waist, pulled her closer and said, "I'm sorry I didn't arrive sooner but hey, I came.""Yes you did," Charlotte said and put her head on his chest.Sebastian smirked as he watched the expression of the man who had found Charlotte change. The man, whoever he was, did not have a good intention and Seb
Diego was busy enjoying himself in a club with some acquaintances of his. These acquintances were dumb enough to think that he regarded them as friends. The truth was that he was only with them tonight because he was trying to get hold of some crucial information which would help him take hold of a company he had been eyeing for months. He was in the middle of a conversation with one of the men when his phone started ringing. Who the hell was calling him so late at night? ‘Of course, only you and mom are this annoying,’ Diego muttered to himself when he saw that it was Sebastian calling him. “Excuse me boys,” he said as she got up and walked away to a more quiet place, hoping that Sebastian wouldn’t figure out that he was in a bar. But his prayers were not answered as Sebastian managed to hear the music playing in the background. “Why can’t you be fooled for once in your life,” he complained. He had already prepared himself to receive an earful from Sebastian but what his brother
"Who's calling you?" Charlotte asked out of curiosity."Amy," Sebastian answered without a second thought. It was only after he saw the look on Charlotte's face change before he realized that he shouldn't have answered her.For a moment, she had forgotten that Amy was in a relationship with Sebastian and that she wasn't the most important person in his life. But thank God he reminded her. "I'm hungry," Charlotte said and without wasting time, she got up and headed out of the room, leaving Sebastian to talk as he liked with Amy. She didn't think she would be able to stand the conversation and so, she respected herself and walked out.The pain in her side had reduced but she still had difficulty walking. She finally reached the stairs and stopped to catch her breath. Why did this house have to be so damn big? It was hard for her to make it from her room to the stairs. How was she going to do this?Charlotte was still thinking about how she was going to get down from the stairs when s
Christian had been waiting for Charlotte to respond to his message ever since he sent it but she refused to respond to it even after she had read it. ‘At least she read it,’ were the words he said to console himself. There was a time when Charlotte would sit by her phone eagerly waiting for his text but everything had changed. He cursed himself for forgetting her and his family for lying that she never existed. Five years was enough time to make Charlotte forget about him but he would remind her and reignite her feelings for him.Christian waited patiently for her to arrive and it was a long and frustrating wait. He didn’t know whether she was even coming as she didn’t reply to his message. Well, if she didn’t show up by sunset, then he would have to carry out his promise. This meant that he would go to her.Two hours passed and there was still no sign that Charlotte was going to come. Christian was already on edge by this time. He picked up his phone with the intention of callin
Sebastian was shocked to know that Charlotte had gotten to the bottom of the reason why his relationship with his father was the way it was. Her words also made him realize that he was doing the same thing his father did years ago. The thought of being compared to his father made him really mad as old wounds had been opened. He grabbed his car key and headed out of the mansion. “Where is my driver?” he asked the head of the guards. “He’s in the garage sir. Let me go and get him for you,” the guard said and rushed to get the driver. He arrived five minutes later with the driver. “Where should I take you, sir?” the driver asked.“Just drive,” Sebastian ordered as he threw his key to the man and got into the car. After driving aimlessly for about an hour, Sebastian finally instructed the driver to take him to the bar on the island. He got out of the car and headed inside the bar. He hardly drank but he felt like it tonight probably because he wanted to get Charlotte's words which h
Charlotte did not have time to think about what she had just done as her phone started ringing.She walked over to the bed and picked her phone up. It was Henry requesting a video call. She smiled and quickly answered the call."Hey Henry," she greeted with delight.However, Henry did not return the same energy to her. "Good morning Mrs Gerano," he said sarcastically. Charlotte's happy expression turned sullen when she heard Henry's reply. "Why are you sounding like this? Are you mad at me?" She asked."No I'm not," Henry answered coldly."Yes he is," Alexia said in the background."Alexia… I warned you about this," Henry scolded."Oh please," Alexia said as she walked over to where Henry was so she could see Charlotte. "Hey Charlotte.""Hey Alexia," Charlotte greeted back. "Now, why is Henry mad at me?" She asked."He's jealous because you aren't giving him your full attention anymore as he isn't the only man in your life," Alexia revealed."Alexia, why are you twisting my words?!" H
When Sebastian said he would take responsibility for his action, Charlotte didn’t believe him and she definitely didn't realize that it would involve his relationship with Amy.Hours after making the promise, Sebastian called her and requested that they have a talk about what they wanted and what they didn't want from their relationship.Charlotte was skeptical at first about opening up to Sebastian as she was afraid this was just of his plans to know her weaknesses and that he would use it against her. Sebastian, who wasn’t oblivious to Charlotte's fears, assured her that this wasn’t one of his plans. He decided to go first so she could open up. He told her that she was right; he was gradually turning into his father and he hated that fact.The hatred Sebastian harboured in his heart for his father was greater than his ‘stupid’ quest for revenge. Upon realizing that he was indirectly doing what his father did to them years ago, he decided to drop his plans he had for Charlotte; not
It was around twelve midnight and Victoria and Alexander were already asleep when someone suddenly started banging on their door. Alexander got up in anger ready to fire whoever it was that was disturbing his wife’s sleep. He opened the door and was ready to lash out but he stopped when he saw Diego at his door. He sighed and shook his head as he thought it was one of those times Diego barged into the room demanding for his mother’s attention. On noticing the look on Diego's face, Victoria got out of bed and walked towards him. “What’s wrong honey,” she asked, her voice filled with concern.“Mom, Jonathan just called to inform us that Charlotte and Sebastian have already arrived back in the country. They are going to ar…”“They are supposed to arrive later in the day. Why did they come so soon? Victoria asked.“Jonathan said Sebastian was shot. He has lost a lot of blood and his condition is critical,'' Diego informed them, his voice devoid of any emotion as he was still finding it
